Americans First Reaction to Eben Etzebeth - The Greatest Rugby ENFORCER Of All Time?

[@StinkingBishop]

The gym Eben frequents back in SA had to get special dumbells for him because all the ones they had weren't heavy enough for him. They got 75kg dumbells. Dude curls a whole adult.

[@BustaNutt7138]

Tests are international matches that affect worldwide ranking.

[@annabrisley479]

Thank you!¡!! You listened!! In South Africa our blood is green 🇿🇦

[@Amethyst_Friend]

It's truly embedded in your culture. From a UK guy.

[@annabrisley479]

@Amethyst_Friend ❤️ tx friend. You also have a great team 💪

[@ibmacman1]

Eben Etzebeth weighs 285 pounds and is 6 foot 8.5 inches tall. So yes, He is a big guy.

[@hlumelocmaqubela5768]

Just a whole specimen of a human being😂🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Amethyst_Friend]

SA Rugby say 6 foot 8 and 265lbs. (Converted from 203cm & 120kg) I'm NOT trying to be clever mind you! I was genuinely wondering, myself. Please correct me if I made a mistake. Maybe his weight has fluctuated quite a bit through his career?

[@josephvanwyk2088]

2:32 - that was quite funny collusion back in the day. Both those players are Springboks. And everyone knows Bismarck (the guy falling) is just as brutal as Eben. But physics in this case is a bitch hahaha.

[@bramjewell7547]

I remember that game, then you would have thought it impossible to bump Bismarck like that

[@10Cnote]

Eben Etzebefh is the Bakkies Botha of his generation. He’s 6ft8 & at least 130kg of sheer muscle, he is very aggressive and is known as an enforcer and he has a serious temper on the field. His most recent famous try was against Ireland in the Rugby World Cup, he took six men with him on his way to scoring. Tests = Games. Tries = Touchdowns.

[@davebox588]

Eben seriously did NOT disrespect the referee despite being twice his size. They call him sir and do as he tells them.

[@xAvaragex]

6 ft 8 at 270lbs, youre just not ready for our south african physicality haha. Dont even get me started on our wingers, bring any football running back/receiver. Wont even be a competition

[@wesrobmat]

Good recovery ❤️‍🩹 poor form.

[@xAvaragex]

GAAN LEK JOU MASE VIS POES UIT. YOU PROBABLY UNDERSTAND THAT?

[@shiladon748]

Hahahah hy sal dit nie verstaan nie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@gstar3569]

FACTS

[@sashadideeda9825]

😂😂😂

[@EncycloVeedia]

Sir did you just say THEEE Eben Etzebeth is only 6'5?????How dare you!

[@AlexTJ-]

For some context, at 21 years old Eben needed 75kg dumbells to use for dumbell chest press

[@debrutomeyer9117]

Eben is no fighter actually. I have seen him pulling more fights apart than fighting himself. And it’s not as if that size man goes entirely unnoticed when people get a bit aggressive

[@the3rdtruth211]

You need to watch the Sean O'Brien "unstoppable" compilation. I don't remember seeing him lose a one on one collision his entire career. Saw him walking down the street in Dublin randomly about 10 years ago and he was just double the girth of every other man walking around. An absolute unit.

[@andrewwarren3566]

Bro please check out Bakkies Botha he was the springboks enforcer before Eben. He is hard-core and a must see.

[@Bruce-nw2hm]

Im a All Blacks supporter and can confirm Bakkies was a menace on the field. Respect

[@theooberholzer3734]

Tests are games played between nations (countries), i.e. South Africa vs USA.

[@ibmacman1]

Eben Etzebeth 100 Test caps is the number of games he has played for the Springboks

[@JohannTerblanche-v9b]

South African school boy rugby

[@rudelsp69]

Just add on this video... This guy used to play wing in high school (the faster guys on the team) till one summer break in school he became super tall and just kept growing in size from there. So regardless his size, he is actually pretty fast still

[@michaelherring1411]

My Father-in-law played Rugby with that dude's unckes. It was a known fact that you don't duck with the Etzebeths. Warrior genes.

[@squirlygeorge]

Rad videos man!! There are so many Springbok/South African monsters to checkout!! 🇿🇦

[@quewynnbehr9640]

2:21 Bro said am I on brazzers I'm dead😭😭

[@akhonasigwanda8565]

that boy had his provincial team to order more lifting weights because their maximum at the time was small for him.. EBEN ETZEBETH is the name....

[@lightningRatPack]

If you liked that you should watch The Most Aggressive South African Rugby Player Ever | Bismarck du Plessis Big Hits & Brutal Moments... I think he got the most red and yellow cards out of any springbok player. Guy is next level of crazy. But it was always great to watch him play.

[@gamingguyx3424]

The DHL (blue) team you are referring to is called the Stormers.

[@annettekolb3103]

Fun fact Eben use to play wing when he was in school

[@justinglenn69]

Eben is the most capped (128) rugby player in South Africa. Yes he does have a family, a wife and a little daughter.

[@Kid_Senekal]

I've never seen anyone walk the line like Etzebeth. Easily among the top 10 most street-smart players ever. Knows the laws really well too

[@davidtaylor2131]

In rugby you do not desrespect the ref...never

[@kalimataitonga4685]

Factsssss

[@marchennink]

Test is when you play an international match for your country. 6ft8. I think 120kgs/ 260lbs

[@justinglenn69]

There is 1 thing that the majority of rugby players do, respect for the referee. Some teams, the players will call the ref Sir

[@corneduven13]

The original enforcer is Bakkies Botha

[@scottwadeg]

Tests are international matches.

[@StephenVanwestos-ld4rq]

The guy is 6'8 275

[@frankvschalkwyk]

Yeah, tests are games he played for the Springboks.

[@ThePretender47]

Go check out Bakkies Botha, he was the pre Eben Etzebeth enforcer of SA rugby, you won't be disappointed.

[@jonowaugh2307]

100 tests means 100 games played for his country, south Africa. so its games played against other international teams.

[@HagieHoffman]

Watch Bakkies Botha the Original Enforcer. Nr.4 for the springboks before Eben Etzebeth

[@frankvschalkwyk]

His name is like the letter E and ben you pronounce as bin, then together will be Ebin

[@riyaadrhoda3990]

Not only super strong but he is incredibly mobile for his size. Just curious to know where the Americans would play him in a football team.

[@jefflacourse3344]

Likely defensive end in today's NFL because he could contain the outside run.

[@glennvanderwesthuizen3316]

He is not our only best😂

[@Cent51]

4:41 One thing you will learn about players, they play hard but they respect the Ref..

[@jefflacourse3344]

What is the old saying? Football is a gentlemen's game, played by hooligans while Rugby is a hooligan's game, played by gentlemen.

you gotta try watch some school boy rugby

[@yazeedcariem5684]

Gr8 Reaction as usual!!! Plz check-out Cheslin Kolbe or Kurtley Arendse or "Die Hard Rugby: Speed Kills"

[@normanmcdermid1951]

That Australian player most probably punched one of his team mates.

[@totallylegit4092]

Eben doesn’t talk shit to the refs. He’s a good sportsman and respects the officials…for the most part. And he knows when f’s up and he’s man enough to take the consequences.

[@annabrisley479]

You're going to become a big rugby fan

[@7footreacts]

I already am 👍🏻 and Thank you for the support and video suggestions 🔥

I believe rugby is being played in America now?

DHL are the sponsors the team is called the stormers

[@danieroets8324]

Check out bakkies botha for the original enforcer

[@tonyroy8123]

It is not about money. It is national pride and winning championships.

[@ibmacman1]

ALSO NOT DH GATE BUT DHL they transport goods world wide

[@rudolphvanrooyen2655]

A Test match is a match between two countries.

[@markboshoff3724]

Bakkies Botha is the original enforcer

[@phelansa23]

The story is that they had to make special dumbells for Eben. 165lbs. Have a look at his arms….

[@tjaartvanderwalt5864]

The guy before him Bakkies Botha was tougher in my opinion.DHL is a sponsor not a team.The team is the Stormers.

[@michaelsblyth]

Is that Derrick Henry?! Lol. Henry is 6'3 247lb, Eben is 6'8 262lb

[@jefflacourse3344]

du Toit is 6'7", Mostert is 6'6", Snyman is nearly 6'10" and the list goes on and on. Botha was as big as Etsebeth but Eben is gym bred while Bakkies was street bred.

[@reyaazebrahim3560]

100 tests means the amount of games he played for the Springboks.not for his club.but country

[@FrederickPrince-p3b]

Tests meaning he had 100 international rugby matches that time

[@Cecilia-z3o9l]

Pronounced Ear'bin 'It's-abet😅😅😂😂

[@skinwalker_]

In rugby of you touch the ref it’s a lifetime ban. Taking back or arguing is a red card. Given the size and testosterone levels of these guys it’s necessary.

[@mordeath83]

Since Americans dont understand meters and kilogrames he is 6.69ft weighing about 265Lb

[@ibmacman1]

Test = matches usually main events

[@sharonmartin4036]

E-BEN ET ZE BETH. (Pronounced more like Evan, or 'ea-ben'. (Not E-Bon) 'Tests' are International matches.

[@LifeImagine]

I heard they don't have enough weight's for Eben at the gym.

[@0000robster]

Please react to a Bakkies Botha rugby fight video

He should move to the UFC, heavy weight, btw he's 6'6 and something around 250 pounds... 70 pounds only in his arms. He will win the UFC fight and get the belt, no cap))))

[@rezadavids7952]

The guy is 6'8, 285 lbs if pure South African rage

[@wacko__bbx]

He's 6'8

[@kaamilwicomb4092]

Pierre Spies, his video won't disappoint you

[@markyeadon7271]

Punches are very rarely thrown in rugby. Punch = red card ( ejected from the game with no replacement) and a suspension for the next few games. Considering the testosterone and aggression in rugby it takes great self control not to throw a punch.

[@judezern6080]

Eben is def stronger than 99.9% of the NFL not close

ALL WITHOUT CISSY PADS

[@NacanieliBale]

React to Tuisova

[@Cavjoh]

No NFL player will be able to take on Eben 😂

[@willsonj]

You’ve got to react to Antoine Dupont. He’s the best player in the world right now, and arguably the greatest player ever. He is a French scrum half (number 9) - usually the smallest/weakest position - but he defends like a world class back row forward. He has ridiculous power for his height, and great pace. He’s also playing for France in Rugby Sevens, winning the World Championship yesterday. He’ll be playing at the Paris Olympics and they have a good chance of winning gold.

[@zwelonkemkhwanazi8664]

Don't overstate it he is good but he is not the greatest player ever, I am not discrediting him other than he is the greatest rugby player

[@willsonj]

@@zwelonkemkhwanazi8664 The only player with comparable skills is Dan Carter imo. Defensively though Dupont is unlike any playmaker, aside from maybe Wilkinson in his tackling.

[@sharonmartin4036]

Ridiculous overstatement.

[@willsonj]

@@sharonmartin4036 He literally just won a gold medal at the Olympics???

[@SuperPsydude]

@willsonj The Paris Woke Olympics? Did they have to cross dress to play? What a f.....g freak show.

Not just games played, international games played that affect world rankings ☺️ players also play for clubs which is not test rugby

[@rarotime5555]

Not even the greatest for SA lol
